Falls Memories: A Belfast Life, Paperback

Falls Road looks completely different now from when Gerry Adams was a child living on it. Many of the businesses, houses, and landmarks have been demolished in favor of new developments. Even when Adams first wrote his memoir of Falls Road in 1982, many of these places were still around--a point Adams makes very clearly in his foreword to this most recent edition.
